WQPT-TV is a television station in Moline, Illinois, serving the Quad Cities market as a PBS member station on channel 24. The station also has a repeater station, W48CK in Sterling, Illinois.

The station signed on for the first time on November 2, 1983.[1] Until then, PBS programs had to be carried by the commercial stations in the area, on a per program basis.

From 1992 to 2003, WQPT operated another satellite station, KQCT in Davenport. After WQPT boosted its signal to better cover the Iowa side of the market, it sold KQCT to IPTV, who renamed it KQIN.
